International Conference on Noise and FluctuationsJune 24-28, 2013, Corum de Montpellier, France(�) http://www.icnf.net ( ) [email protected]
ontpellier 2013Description
The$ ICNF%conference$ is$ a$biennial$event$ that$ brings$together$ researchers$ interested$ in$ theoretical$ and$experimental$ aspects$ of$ fluctuations$ across$ a$wide$spectrum$ of$ scientific$ and$ technological$ fields.$ICNF?2013$ will$ address$ a$ broad$ variety$ of$ topics$covering$ fundamental$ aspects$ of$ noise$ and$fluctuations,$as$well$as$applications$in$various$fields.$$
Noise$ and$ fluctuations$ are$ acquiring$ an$ increasing$importance$ in$science$and$technology,$as$witnessed$by$the$ growing$ number$ of$ publications$ in$ this$field$that$ appear$ in$leading$ journals.$This$ is$ the$ result$ of$the$realization$about$ the$importance$of$fluctuations$in$new$areas$of$human$knowledge$and$in$the$raising$awareness$ of$ the$ role$ they$ play$ in$ defining$ the$ultimate$ miniaturization$ limits$ of$ devices$ for$informat ion$ storage$ and$ process ing.$ The$
contributions$ related$ to$ biological,$ as$ well$ as$interdisciplinary$ aspects$ of$ noise$ and$ fluctuations$research$will$also$be$considered.$$
The$22nd$edition$of$ the$ conference$ (ICNF?2013)$ will$be$ held$ in$Montpellier$ (France),$ from$June$ 24th$ to$June$28th,$2013.$
The$ scientific$ program$ will$ include$ plenary$ and$invited$ lectures,$ oral$ contributions$ and$ poster$presentations.$$
We$believe$that$ ICNF?2013$will$be$an$opportunity$for$noise$researchers$operating$in$very$different$areas$of$scientific$ and$ technological$ endeavor,$ with$ diverse$backgrounds,$to$come$together$and$create$the$basis$for$renewed$cross?fertilization$and$collaboration.
